Manchester United, Recent FormThe Manchester United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Newcastle United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Newcastle United managed 22 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Erik ten Hag will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Old Trafford. When playing at home this season, Manchester United has notched up a tally of 7 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.
When home matches come round at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Manchester United's last 6 home league matches.
Brentford, Recent FormBrentford will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Brighton & Hove Albion, which ran out a 3-3 draw. In that game they recorded 27 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 15 of their 33 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Thomas Frank will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Brentford will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 7 draws in 14 away league games.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney is giving Brentford's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
After a good 4-0 win for Brentford in this pair's last league encounter, Manchester United will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag with Christian Eriksen (Ankle), Tom Heaton (Ankle), Harry Maguire (Hamstring), Marcus Rashford (Ankle), Marcel Sabitzer (Knock), Raphaël Varane (Muscle) and Brandon Williams (Unknown) all unavailable for selection, and Donny van de Beek (Knee) out for the rest of the season.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Kristoffer Ajer (Calf), Vitaly Janelt (Knee) and Keane Lewis-Potter (Knee)
